Trusted tile repair in Thwaite

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Tile repair in Thwaite, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thwaite as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Thwaite questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
